Quick Links Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthis rife with heartwarming and gutwrenching moments that will constantly keep you on a roller coaster of smiling from ear to ear to sobbing uncontrollably, and that’s primarily due to its fantastic cast of characters, tremendous storytelling and overly expressive moments that leaves everyone vulnerable and raw. And, if you think this only applies to the main story, then you’re simply wrong, as many of the game’s side quests have deep and personal moments that make you take a step back, reflect on how far you’ve come, and the impact you and your party are making in the world, which is precisely what you get during the Dreaming of Blue Skies side quest!...

Nearly a year after it was announced,Elden RingShadow of the Erdtree finally has a release date, launching on June 21, later this year. The newly released gameplay trailer gives us a glimpse at the “Land of Shadow” we’ll be venturing to, seemingly via the cocoon in Mohg’s boss arena that houses Miquella. Here, we’ll face off against Messmer the Impaler, a giant with writhing red snakes circling his body. It looks like he’s the big bad of the DLC, given that he has an entire statue dedicated to him in the also-newly-revealed collector’s edition and is at the centre of the key art, sat upon a throne....

Content makes the world go round and all that. So, even if I’m covering a behemoth likeFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth, I will naturally be compelled to move onto something else once I roll credits....

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s open world is just right. Unless a game has an easy platinum such asGhost of TsushimaorMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, I rarely return to games after hitting credits because I’m not all that interested in busywork. I’d rather move onto the next thing and take a chance on new stories and characters instead of spending dozens of hours being a rotten completionist. This is especially true with modern open world games, most of which are put together in such a way to keep your attention for as long as humanly possible....

Summary Some video game series take their time to find their groove, some are continually getting better, and some peak with their very first game. They strike gold from the get-go and even if the sequels are still of a high quality, they never quite capture that same magic as the first game. Whether the original idea for that game series was so strong that it didn’t merit sequels or core members of the development team changed between the first and second game, there are a range of reasons why this happens....
